		<h2>Perforce Team Provider</h2>
	 
	    <p>The <u>Perforce Team Provider</u> (also known as <u>p4eclipse</u>) is an <a href="www.opensource.org">open source</a> plugin for Eclipse to 
	    provide integration with the <a href="http://www.perforce.com">Perforce SCM System</a>.  It is written, maintained, documented, and supported
	    by volunteers.  It is <b>not</b> a complete replacement for the Perforce client.  It provides <i>most</i> capabilities necessary for use by a
	    developer on a day-to-day basis, and it attempts to integrate with Eclipse when Eclipse wherever appropriate.
	    </p>
	    
	    <!-- TODO Notation -->
	    <h3>Support</h3>
		<div>p4eclipse is hosted on SourceForge at <a href="http://p4eclipse.sourceforge.net">P4Eclipse Home Page</a>.  Support is available a 
			number of ways:
			<ul>
				<li><b>p4eclipse-users@lists.sourceforge.net</b> - This mailing list is a great place to ask questions, confirm if something is bug or 
				not, and generally discuss the plugin.  It's fairly low volume.  You can subscribe and find out about other p4eclipse mailing lists
				<a href="http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=40694">here</a>. </li>  
				<li><b>SourceForge Tracker</b> - SourceForge provides a database where you can 
					<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=40694&amp;atid=428672">report bugs</a>,
				 	<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=40694&amp;atid=428675">request enhancments</a>, or formally 
					<a href="http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=40694&amp;atid=428673">request support</a>.
				</li>
			</ul>
		</div>
		<h3>Volunteers</h3>
		<div>Every aspect of the project is managed by volunteers.  You're encouraged to volunteer your time in any way you can, including:
			<ul>
				<li>Writing code</li>
				<li>Writing documentation</li>
				<li>Answer questions on mailing lists</li>
				<li>Managing the P4Eclipse site</li>
				<li>Reporting Bugs</li>
				<li>Requesting Enhancements</li>
				<li>I'm sure there's moref</li>
			</ul>
			If you want to contribute in anyway, please join the p4eclipse-development mailing list.  If you want to write code, but are hesitant
			because you don't know how to write for Eclipse, <b>please</b> do not let that stop you from volunteering.  We're happy to help you
			over Eclipse hurdles if it helps make our plugin a better tool.
